Guys like White Doors makes drive bys and NEVER contributes anything to a thread. They like to say I am insulting, but I back my **** up. They are insulting to the intelligence in the gfact that they refuse to back anything up. They make their petty posts then run away and hide. Which is worse? I'll take all the brow beating from someone that is burying me in a well thoughtout debate, but I won't take crap from guys that hit and run. Looger should not be in the sitting on the sidelines while the jokers are running wild.

Just a thought, is it possible to back your **** up and not be insulting? Good points loose their credibility when they are tainted with immature name calling.

I've been PMed by people to outline his shots at me. That's garbage when people have to do that. The ignore list only does so much. This guy adds nothing to the site and only detracts from some quality threads. Ignore doesn't prevent that.

Well you can't do anything else about that, can you Lanny?

I ask people to quit jumping on the trolls...and they get ****ed off at me for saying something. Replying to them only makes the situation worse. That is pretty obvious in this thread.

So am I.. but do you ever see me respond to him?

He's like that little boy in the corner that always wants attention. "look at me! look at me!" Giving him any attention just justify his actions.

He needs to stop.

But Looger's reaction was and still is much worse.

One thing that helps is reporting posts, perhaps even the "little pokes". A lot of these political threads stretch for pages and pages, and its difficult to moderate them at times for that reason - we simply can't read everything.

So report when someone is doing these little pokes if you think it is warranted. We do pay attention, though action isn't necessarily always taken.

holy smokes. All I did was ask a question in this thread. Go back and look. Interesting that the people piling on me are the one's from the other side of the spectrum. But I'm sure that has nothing to do with it.

Calculoso isn't from the 'other side of the spectrum', though I doubt he'd appreciate being lumped in with you.

Speaking of little pokes.

Agamemnon · 10-25-2006, 08:25 AM

Take a look at what he said and tell me I'm wrong.

Find the post and show me. You've simply put my name on the list because I'm on "the other side".

i'm sorry, and you're correct.

i get dogpile-itis sometimes, hurts the memory a bit.

However ... the comment in question was way over the edge.

Short term cool off seems fair.

understood bingo, and thanks.

EDIT: sorry if it sounded like i was biting your head off, didn't mean to make it personal.

It's not only one side, and it's not only one question in this thread. You seem to have a pattern of making tiny comments that are designed not to discuss, but to get the biggest response out of the posters. In other words, trolling.

I would suggest you either engage in a discussion more fairly (with the intent of understanding the other side rather than simply deriding them), or not engage at all.
